This unit in physics, we learned about energy and and the conservation of it. Energy is in everything around us, and in everything we do. This is what I am trying to show in this particular blog posting, and I hope that by the end you are as convinced as I am. Conservation of energy is very simple, if you think about it, which I had to. The concept, to put it simply, is that even though energy may change forms in a situation, the total energy will not change. In this comic that I made about a skate boarder, Picasso (the skate boarder) wants to see whether a new half-pipe will satisfy his need for speed. I would like to note here that I have no knowledge on skate boarding, so I really just made up some stuff about skate boarding on a half-pipe, such as how high it is and how fast is FAST on a half-pipe. I'm sorry if I offend any boarders out there by my ignorance of the technical side of boarding. If you are worse than me and don't even know what a half-pipe is, it is the round thing that skate boarders go on when they feel that flat ground is too safe for them- the round thing that's shaped like a U where you start on one side and skate to the top, flip in midair, and then skate down it again.
